The Logarithmic Contributions to the O(alpha_s^3) Asymptotic Massive Wilson Coefficients and Operator Matrix Elements in Deeply Inelastic Scattering

We calculate the logarithmic contributions to the massive Wilson coefficients for deep-inelastic scattering in the asymptotic region $Q^2 gg m^2$ to 3-loop order in the fixed-flavor number scheme and present the corresponding expressions for the massive operator matrix elements needed in the variable flavor number scheme. Explicit expressions are given both in Mellin-$N$ space and $z$-space.

Logarithmic $O(alpha_s^3)$ contributions to the DIS Heavy Flavor Wilson Coefficients at $Q^2 gg m^2$

The logarithmic contributions to the massive twist-2 operator matrix elements for deep-inelastic scattering are calculated to $O(alpha_s^3)$for general values of the Mellin variable $N$.

Heavy Flavor DIS Wilson coefficients in the asymptotic regime

We report on results for the heavy flavor contributions to $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the limit $Q^2gg m^2$ at {sf NNLO}. By calculating the massive $3$--loop operator matrix elements, we account for all but the power suppressed terms in $m^2/Q^2$. Recently, the calculation of fixed Mellin moments of all $3$--loop massive operator matrix elements has been finished. We present new all--$N$ results for the $O(n_f)$--terms, thereby confirming the corresponding parts of the $3$--loop anomalous dimensions. Additionally, we report on first genuine $3$--loop results of the ladder--type diagrams for general values of the Mellin variable $N$.

Moments of the 3--loop corrections to the heavy flavor contribution to $F_2(x,Q^2)$ for $Q^2gg m^2$

We calculate moments of the $O(alpha_s^3)$ heavy flavor contributions to the Wilson coefficients of the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the region $Q^2gg m^2$. The massive Wilson coefficients are obtained as convolutions of massive operator matrix elements (OMEs) and the known light flavor Wilson coefficients. The calculation of moments of the massive OMEs involves a first independent recalculation of moments of the fermionic contributions to all 3--loop anomalous dimensions of the unpolarized twist--2 local composite operators stemming from the light--cone expansion cite{url}.

From Moments to Functions in Quantum Chromodynamics

Single-scale quantities, like the QCD anomalous dimensions and Wilson coefficients, obey difference equations. Therefore their analytic form can be determined from a finite number of moments. We demonstrate this in an explicit calculation by establishing and solving large scale recursions by means of computer algebra for the anomalous dimensions and Wilson coefficients in unpolarized deeply inelastic scattering from their Mellin moments to 3-loop order.

Heavy flavor operator matrix elements at $O(a_s^3)$

The heavy quark effects in deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic regime $Q^2 gg m^2$ can be described by heavy flavor operator matrix elements. Complete analytic expressions for these objects are currently known to ${sf NLO}$. We present first results for fixed moments at ${sf NNLO}$. This involves a recalculation of fixed moments of the corresponding ${sf NNLO}$ anomalous dimensions, which we thereby confirm.

Higher order corrections to heavy flavour production in deep inelastic scattering

In the asymptotic limit $Q^2 gg m^2$, the non-power corrections to the heavy flavour Wilson coefficients in deep--inelastic scattering are given in terms of massless Wilson coeffcients and massive operator matrix elements. We start extending the existing NLO calculation for these operator matrix elements by calculating the O($epsilon$) terms of the two--loop expressions and having first investigations into the three--loop diagrams needed to O($alpha_s^3$).
